Many of you have volunteered for the MCRA Board of Directors over the past 60 years, and your service has contributed to what MCRA is today.

I’d like to recognize and thank the 2010 Board of Directors for everything they did for the MCRA.

There are a few more MCRA members that I would like to recognize and thank. Jaye Saylor has been administering the NCRA skills test. This year she will give the test three times – May, August, and November. Jaye Saylor has also been preparing the newsletter. Joseph Grabowski is currently serving as the Education Advisory Committee Chairperson. Kathy A. Zeve is currently serving as the Certification Committee Chairperson. Abe Weinapple organized the Friday golf tournament for our 2010 convention. It has been a group effort of MCRA Boards and committees since 1949 that have worked hard to ensure that MCRA will continue its goal of promoting the court reporting profession in Maryland. In 2011, we are in need of volunteers to continue working toward this goal. Please contact one of the 2011 board members if you’d like to offer your services.
